Failover IP

Failover IPs are movable from one server to another within minutes from the management console. They can also be used as additional IP addresses for a server. They can be used for example to give each website in Plesk its own IP.

Failover IP allows you to move the IP from one server to another without changing your whole configuration. For example, if your server is out of order, you can move the IP to your fallback server and your services remain available without any downtime.

You can also use these IP's to create virtual machines on your Dedibox.
